Accessing disk mirroring through Element Manager

Use this procedure to review the primary master and mirror master hard disk settings on systems
equipped with a RAID configuration. Use Element Manager in this procedure to monitor the
RAID disk mirror operation.

To access disk mirroring

1

Access Element Manager after system bootup is complete.

2

From the Administration tab, click System Status, and then click Disk Mirroring.

The Disk Mirroring screen displays (see

Figure 104

).

3

In the Settings area, ensure the following fields display the default values as shown (see

Table 83

):

a

Operation Mode = Mirror Mode

b

Beep on drive failure = Every 30 seconds (you can configure the interval between beeps).

Note: You must ensure the system status monitor service is running to monitor primary
master and mirror master disk operation and disk mirroring activity.

Note: On some systems, if the RAID card fails, the audible alarm sounds continuously for
15 seconds. After the 15 second period, the beep alarm sounds in accordance to the beep
timing setting.
